About
The game that started the genre. Everyone gets the same five-letter word each day, and the result grid of coloured squares is built for sharing without spoilers.
How to play
1Type any five-letter word and press Enter.
2Green means the letter is in the right spot, yellow means it is in the word but elsewhere, grey means it is not in the word.
3Use the feedback to find the word within six guesses.
